Chapter 91 - 76 The Murderer’s Blade (Please Follow, Please Promote)
The one who kills uses the knife, the one who gives life wields the sword.
This saying was originally a Zen phrase, but in the martial world filled with danger and killings, it increasingly became an undeniable truth.
In today’s world where knife techniques are mastered, the sixth-ranked Broken Swordsman on the martial arts list once said, "The knife should have three parts of killing intent, while the sword should have three parts of compassion." These three parts refer not just to the methods practiced by martial artists but also illustrate the vast difference between knives and swords. A knife has a single edge, needing only to face the enemy, while a sword has a double edge, harming both others and oneself. Without three parts of killing intent, one wielding a knife is likely to be harmed by others, and without three parts of compassion, one wielding a sword will inevitably harm themselves. It is said that this sixth-ranked martial artist was indifferent to this notion in his youth until a close relative was killed, and he then came to a sudden realization, thus becoming the Broken Swordsman who turned his sword into a knife, simply because he wanted to master a swordsmanship that kills!
A killing sword cannot endure, and a knife that doesn’t kill cannot endure either!
You Xu lightly raised the Ring Head Knife, and said in a deep voice:
"You Xu from the Southern Mountain State’s White Willow Sect."
"Chen Yi of the West Factory Thousand Households."
As soon as the words fell, You Xu stepped forward swiftly.
As the aura circulated, Chen Yi instinctively took a step back, realizing the surge in You Xu’s imposing presence with just their eyes meeting.
The bamboo leaves rustled rapidly, as Chen Yi kept his eyes on You Xu.
